Liliana "Lily" Peter's 14-year-old Cousin Carson Peters-Berger held on a 1 million dollar bond.

Over the years we have heard several cases of children killing other children, such as the murder of James Bulger, 11-year-old convicted killer Mary Bell, 14-year-old convicted killer Joshua Phillips, and 12-year-old Lionel Tate.
